Disclaimer

Recently Global Citizenship Foundation has been made aware of various schemes, being circulated via e-mails, falsely stating that they are issued by or associated with Global Citizenship Foundation, Global Citizenship Foundation Board of Trustees or other Global Citizenship Foundation entities. These schemes propose fake job offers in order to extract money and personal details from the recipients of such correspondence.

The schemes, which have no connection whatsoever with the Global Citizenship Foundation, take many forms. Usually, they consist of proposals, sent via e-mail, mainly in the form of job offers, from people purporting to be Global Citizenship Foundation representatives. The correspondence and other documents, e-mails addresses and websites may be made to look like they originate with the Global Citizenship Foundation, or may contain links to the real Global Citizenship Foundation websites. For example, they may contain official-looking Global Citizenship Foundation stationery, including the Global Citizenship Foundation logo or name.

The most common scheme takes the form of an employment proposal. This usually includes offers of employment or vacancy announcements, request a scanned copy of passport or other official identification, and include employment forms to be filled out with personal data and other documentation. There may also be requests for payment of fees.

Global Citizenship Foundation does not charge a fee at any stage of the employment recruitment process and does not ask future or current employees to pay for work-related materials. Global Citizenship Foundation does not request information regarding bank accounts. Any requests for such payment or personal information should be refused and reported to local law enforcement authorities for appropriate action and to Global Citizenship Foundation.

SUCH USE OF GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP FOUNDATION NAME AND LOGO OR OTHER NAMES OR TRADEMARKS ASSOCIATED TO GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP FOUNDATION IN THESE SCHEMES IS UNAUTHORIZED AND ILLEGAL. THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES SHOULD BE INFORMED OF ANY SUCH ACTIVITIES WHICH GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP FOUNDATION BECOMES AWARE, FOR APPROPRIATE ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY THOSE AUTHORITIES.

EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE EXERCISED IN RELATION TO ANY SUSPICIOUS COMMUNICATION, AS FINANCIAL LOSS AND IDENTITY THEFT COULD RESULT FROM THE SENDING OF MONEY OR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THOSE ISSUING SUCH FRAUDULENT CORRESPONDENCE.

The Global Citizenship Foundation is a registered not-for-profit specialist organization that fosters active global citizenship and global citizenship education (GCED). The seat of the Global Citizenship Foundation is the National Capital Territory of Delhi, India.
